Abstract

Strong-magnetic iron ores classification efficiency, as well as efficiency of related process of strong-magnetic iron ores grinding in wet magnetic concentration, depend, in addition to water regime, on ore material magnetic properties: residual magnetization (σr), coercitive force (Нс), saturation magnetization (σs). The mentioned properties cause concentrated material particles flocculation, which significantly hinders material sizing in classification and worsens grinding process results. The article presents the results of the investigations performed with a view to determine a degree of demagnetization effect, taking place ahead of secondary grinding stage hydrocyclones, upon the processing results at the OAO Evrazruda Abagursky operation. Preliminary studies were performed at the SB RAS Institute of Physics on magnetic properties of the Abagursky operation feed ores and their concentration products, also, concentrated material particles flocculation and deflocculation in demagnetization were studied. Magnetic strength of the field, required for Abagursky ores material deflocculation, was determined. Commercial-scale testing was performed on secondary grinding stage section, that included MShTs 2700×3600 mill, GTs-360 hydrocyclones, Eriez DRW9 demagnetizing apparatus and 8Gr8 360/40 pump. It was established, that application of demagnetization improves hydrocyclones' overflow parameters and leads to increase in size fractions coarser than 71 microns recovery into sands by 8.9 % (up to 86.6 %). As a result, mill circulating load was increased by 82 %, and mill specific throughput — by 13.7 %.
